The world's most haunted hotels
Langham Hotel, London
London’s Langham Hotel was officially opened in 1865 by King Edward VII and visited by several literary greats, from Mark Twain and Oscar Wilde to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. But it has also reportedly been frequented by ghosts. The most common sighting is of a man in Victorian evening wear in Room 333, who apparently appears only in the month of October. Another guest claimed to have seen the figure of a man in military attire standing by the window on the fourth floor, which is said to be the ghost of a German Prince who jumped out of a window before the start of the First World War. It is also believed that Napolean III, who was a former guest, haunts the basement of the hotel.

Castle Stuart, Scotland
Castle Stuart was built in 1625 by James Stuart, whose grandfather was the half-brother of Mary, Queen of Scots. The castle was reputed to be haunted, so Stuart offered to pay a reward to anyone willing to spend the night at his castle to disprove this theory. A local minister at Petty Church took the challenge and stayed at the room at the top of the East Tower. The following morning, his dead body was found in the courtyard below and he reportedly had a frozen look of horror on his face. The mystery behind his death still remains.

The Ragged Cot, England
This 17th century coaching inn in Gloucestershire is said to be haunted by the spirits of a mother and child who died at the property. One night a former landlord of the inn decided to rob a stagecoach heading to London. His wife tried to dissuade him from doing so and went after him, holding her baby in her arms. As the man pushed her aside, both his wife and child fell to their deaths down the stairs. Mortified, he hid their bodies in a trunk. He was arrested for the robbery but as he was led away by the police, it was said the ghosts of his wife and child were seen walking up the stairs.
